Interim report Jan-Sep 2019: Wihlborgs posts healthy growth and buoyant lettings
- Rental income rose 11 percent to SEK 2,218 million (1,997)
- Operating surplus rose 10 percent to SEK 1,615 million (1,462)
- Income from property management rose 25 percent to SEK 1,318 million (1,051).
- Profit for the period totalled SEK 1,377 million (1,469), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 8.56 (9.56)
“In summarising the third quarter, we can state that demand in our markets remained high, with favourable activity levels and confidence among our customers. This is reflected in the period’s strong net lettings totalling SEK 75 million and an income from property management that increased a full 25 percent. We took advantage of the favourable market and posted healthy growth in rental value – up 3.9 percent in comparable portfolios,” says Ulrika Hallengren, CEO of Wihlborgs.
“Our vacancy levels are still low, meaning that it’s time for us to intensify our work with forthcoming development projects, for example Pulpeten 5, our next project in Hyllie. We will continue to grow, and will do so sustainably and responsibly.”
